It provides a display of all related National Airspace System (NAS), Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS) and surveillance facilities. The display provides message counts, device status and error messages. JVN Communications, Inc., retains the proprietary data rights and as such, is the only vendor capable of providing the required software, firmware and hardware to support the Standard Terminal Automation Radar System (STARS) and Common Automated Radar Terminal System (CARTS) testing environments.



A competitive solicitation is not available for this procurement. If your firm does not agree with this single source determination, please provide evidence of your firm's capability and experience in providing the services outlined herein and the FAA will evaluate accordingly.
